Abstract

An equation over a group with one unknown is called regular if the exponent sum of the unknown is nonzero. In this paper we prove that some regular equations of exponent rpsrp^s, where rZr \in \mathbb{Z}, sNs \in \mathbb{N}, gcd(r,p)=1\gcd(r,p)=1, over the group UTn(Fp)_n(\mathbb{F}_p) (n2n \geq 2) are solvable in an overgroup isomorphic to UT(n1)ps+1(Fp)_{(n-1)p^s + 1}(\mathbb{F}_p). Applying this for n=3n=3 we prove that any regular equation of exponent rpsrp^s over the Heisenberg pp-group UT3(Fp)_3(\mathbb{F}_p) is solvable in an overgroup isomorphic to UT2ps+1(Fp)_{2p^s + 1}(\mathbb{F}_p). The proofs of these results are constructive and allow to obtain solutions of equations in explicit form.
